Syed Uddin has announced the release of Mirror 360 HD app for iPhone 4 and iPod touch 4. This app is going to be a perfect assistant for everyone who wants to look absolutely stunning on any occasion. It combines such unique features as an immediate playback and quick check options that the other mirror apps don't have.

True fashionistas know firsthand how hard it is to see the reflection of the back or profile in the real life mirror. Mirror 360 HD app took the daily life to a new higher level by allowing seeing the face from any direction via recording a panoramic view. Even two normal mirrors can't provide 100 % confidence of being absolutely irresistible, but Mirror 360 HD can.

Mirror 360 HD also includes a recording feature allowing users to make a short clip and watch it within the app to check whether everything is good with their hair or face. Users will definitely appreciate that the clip itself is not saved locally to avoid any embarrassment.

Developers managed to create a special collection of frames that can be changed according to the mood. Modest, flowery, bold, dark, and many other frames are designed to establish a unique style.

Mirror 360 HD app is a new generation mirror that provides its users with many advantages such as checking the make-up furtively before an important business meeting. It's not just a simple mirror, it's a must have for anyone who loves fashion and wants to look fabulous wherever they go.

"The whole process of making this app was so exciting and fun. I wanted to create a Mirror app with the best interface on the market and to have features like no other. Not only have I succeeded in doing so, I have met the best people in the industry along the way!" - said Syed Uddin, inventor of Mirror 360 HD.

Pricing and availability:Mirror 360 HD 1.0 is $0.99 (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and is available exclusively through the App Store in the Lifestyle category.

TapeDeck 1.4 is now available with support for channel selection on professional audio hardware, and audio monitoring for recording line input sources. Because TapeDeck is a popular choice for users that are looking to digtize a library of cassette tapes and vinyl records, TapeDeck now allows users to listen to their attached audio sources as they are recording.

"Software play-through has been requested quite a few times over the years, but it's a very difficult problem to solve when you're using different devices for recording and playback," says Chris Liscio, the founder of SuperMegaUltraGroovy. "We used to direct users to free utilities that provide this monitoring functionality, but we wanted to offer an all-in-one solution instead."

In addition to the growing archival user base, an increasing number of professional musicians are favoring TapeDeck over their favorite digital audio workstation software packages. As a result, TapeDeck now offers the ability to choose recording channels on hardware devices that offer numerous audio inputs.

"Musicians are telling me that TapeDeck has freed them from waiting for their professional applications to launch, load plugins, and create project spaces, when all they want to do is capture some quick song ideas," says Liscio. "Guitarists can plug a guitar into an Eleven Rack, choose the rig outputs on channels three and four, and capture ideas and tone settings that can be later incorporated into a larger project. TapeDeck is the ultimate scratch pad for quickly capturing musical ideas."

About toastycode:Daniel Sandler started releasing software under the toastycode label on the fourth of July, 2006 with the debut of Pyrotheque, his love letter to a misspent youth in a computer lab full of Mac Pluses, ImageWriters, and pixellated fireworks.

Supported Languages:* US English, French, German and Japanese

Pricing and Availability:TapeDeck 1.4 is available now for 24.99 (USD) in the Mac App Store in the Music cateogry, and it is a free update for all existing customers. A free trial, and further information, can be found at the product website.

Dev4phone has announced the release of Ear Trainer 1.6 for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Ear Trainer is an app designed to help train your musical ear.

Each exercise is preceded by a short introduction which explains its intent as well as shows, and plays, an example on the app's virtual piano. This gives the user a better understanding of the meaning behind each particular lesson before they start. When an exercise is complete the users' statistics are saved allowing them to track their progress and easily return to areas that need more training. Ear Trainer indicates when a user is ready to move on to the next lesson.

Google has released Google Shopper, an iPhone app that helps you find information on millions of products.

Google Shopper recognizes products by cover art, barcode, voice and text search. You can find local and online prices, reviews, specifications, videos, and more to help you make the best purchasing decision. You can save items to your shopping list and share with your friends.

--Let's say you're planning a special meal for Valentine's Day - but you need a cast-iron skillet to get the recipe just right. With Shopper, finding one is easy enough: just type in "cast iron skillet" or say it using Voice Search. Then, from the results, you can choose a specific product that appeals to you. Alternatively, if you were in the store and wanted to see product reviews, you could also scan the barcode of a particular product.

Once you've selected a product result, you can compare prices across web retailers, and even find where you can purchase the item nearby, which is especially useful for those of us who are last-minute shoppers. For some retailers, we also provide inventory information so you can see if a particular store branch has the item in stock, has limited availability, or if the item is out of stock and you should head to a different store.

If you're not sure about making a purchase or are building out a gift list, you can "star" products for future consideration. You can also share items with friends across your social network to let them know about products you love or great deals you've found. --

You can download Google Shopper from the App Store for free.

Google has announced a new check-in feature for Latitude that is available starting today for Android and coming soon to its iOS app.

Not your typical check-insBecause you can use Latitude to automatically detect your location, we’ve added a few twists to checking in to make it really easy:

● Notifications: Turn on check-in notifications in Latitude’s settings and get a notification to check in at a nearby place once you arrive. Never forget to check in again.● Automatic check-ins: Choose to automatically check in at specific places you designate, and you’ll be checked in when you’re there. You can talk to friends or finish your bagel without fumbling with your phone.● Check out: Once you leave, Latitude knows to automatically check you out of places so friends aren’t left guessing if you’re still there.

If you have the Latitude app for iPhone, you'll see your friends' check-ins. Google says the app will be updated soon to allow you to check-in as well.

RiMETRIC Games has released an excitingly unique product for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad users. Drop-Up is a new game that offers players a true 3D gaming environment that is rare. Gameplay allows players to find the best position for their game pieces by spinning grid cubes against an earth at night background. The grids can be viewed from any direction and angle, inside and out. Up to four human or computer-generated players can participate in this challenging, strategy based game at one time.

Drop-Up is a new product in the AppStore. It is unique, offering a gaming environment that is rarely seen in games. The app offers a true, 3D experience that includes a dimension not seen in real life. Players are able to select boards or cubes of various sizes and shapes, as well as who they'll play against.

Moving pieces involves simple finger swipes. Players must move their men to block their opponents and try to get four in a row first. The line of game pieces can be in any direction, thanks to the unique 3D environment. That means a win is achievable, quite literally from any angle. Sounds easy but the gameplay itself challenges the mind to think and strategize in new ways. A player is able to spin their cube to see it inside and out from all sides, angles and directions in order to develop their strategy as they play.

These are some of the amazing features offered in Drop-Up:* Simple finger-touch interface* Dramatic earth-at-night background* Selection of grid shapes and sizes* Choice of up to 4 human or computer-generated opponents* Truly incredible 3D gaming environment with an extra dimension* Challenges the mind to think in new ways* Warning! This game is addictive* App does not request or pull personal or location data

Unlike some other sites, the AppStore does not have a True 3D category but users can find Drop-Up in the Games section on iTunes.

Pricing and Availability:Drop-Up 1.1 Universal App is only $1.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category. Promo codes are available for qualified reviewers. Please specify the website or blog you represent when making your request.

Apple is now forcing developers who offer content for sale via a webstore to also offer the content via in-app purchase, according to Apple spokesperson Trudy Miller.

"We have not changed our developer terms or guidelines," Miller told AllThingsD. "We are now requiring that if an app offers customers the ability to purchase books outside of the app, that the same option is also available to customers from within the app with in-app purchase."

In other words, Apple wants its cut on sales enabled by its iOS devices, it has an established guideline that allows it to take it and that’s what it’s doing. Developers are still free to send customers to their own Web stores, but they must also offer them the option of purchasing content within their apps themselves, and they must route those sales through Apple which will then take its percentage.

This is a major setback for companies like Sony, Amazon, and other content providers who will not want to give up 30% of their sales to Apple.

Samsung admitted that its Galaxy Tab sales have actually been 'quite small' during its quarterly earnings call, according to the WSJ.

In early December, Samsung announced it had sold one million devices "faster than expected". In January it announced sales of two million. It now appears that these were actually shipments to retailers rather than actual sales to customers.

Samsung executive, Lee Young-hee, had this to say,

"Well, your question was on sell-in and sell-out. As you heard, our sell-in was quite aggressive and this first quarterly result was quite, you know, fourth-quarter unit [figure] was around two million. Then, in terms of sell-out, we also believe it was quite small. We believe, as the introduction of new device, it was required to have consumers invest in the device. So therefore, even though sell-out wasn’t as fast as we expected, we still believe sell-out was quite OK."
